I've been modelling, painting miniatures and wargaming since I was a wee lad in Swansea, this blog details some of my interests - I hope that you like it.
In 2010 I started a new modelling venture - building 40mm AWI/ACW terrain pieces and designing 28mm masters, which are then cast and available for sale from Grand Manner. - All original images and text are copyright of A. S. Harwood (Dampfpanzerwagon)

Greek Temple in plaster - update

Following on from my earlier post, here is the finished Temple base. The model was originally made as an alternative base to the Greek Temple 'master' I had produced for Grand Manner, however after Dave at GM saw the work-in-progress, I was persuaded to amend the model so it could be cast in resin and offered as an alternative to the simpler, flat base.

The bulk of the model is plaster castings of the original temple, with the stone sides being modified wall sections and rock face castings. The cave section has a lift-off roof. Full details of the Greek Temple model should be up on the GM site very soon, the roof section was being cast when I visited yesterday evening.

The miniature is a 40mm Spartan Games Argonaut (still up-painted), however the temple was originally designed for use with 28mm figures.

I am sure that a finished and painted temple will be available for photographing very soon.

About Me

Born and brought up in Swansea, South Wales, I now live in Droitwich with my wife Sue. My daughter Holly is now working as a teacher in Stourport. My son, Gary lives in Leamington Spa with his Wife Beckie and our two Grandsons Finley and Charlie, but I still think of myself as a 'Jack' (an in-joke known to those of a certain age who count Swansea as their home town). Like my Grandfather, my Father and Uncle, I have made models, painted toy soldiers and wargamed since I was a very young boy and now feel privileged that I have the time to dedicate to my hobby. This Blog is a great way recording how I have developed as a modeller, but it's not ALL about model making. I hope you enjoy it. Tony
